BooksWeLoveToRead

=The best way to choose a great book to read is to get a recommendation from someone else who loved reading the book!! That is the basis for this activity.=

==Students will use a book that they have read recently and loved, and create an index card explaining why someone else should read that book. We will take a day in class to share our cards with others, then place the cards in pockets on a bulletin board in class so that everyone can look through them when looking for a new book to read.==

**Requirements for Index card:**

 * 1) ==The index card should be held tall not wide; all work must be done in pen or ink of some kind - no pencil unless it's colored pencil.==
 * 2) ==On the front at the top should be the Title of the book, the author's name and genre of book.==
 * 3) ==In the middle to bottom of the front should be a drawing, sketch or picture of a main event from the book.==
 * 4) ==On the back of the card should be a written or typed explanation of why you loved the book (include details of the book's plot, characters and/or style of the author) and why someone should read it.==
